A team mate's PC has been having major problems over the last week or so finishing jobs.
The problem was an unstable PC which has now been rectified. However, the daily quota for that machine is 2 per day. Fair enough when turning in bad results but now things are ok, how does one now increase the daily quota? There is one completed job waiting to be sent, but it will not upload and has been in that state all day so far.
A valid result was sent yesterday and credit was awarded so the PC is now capable of doing the work. Will resetting the project do any good? I realise all work on the machine will be lost, but if the project is reset will the daily quota rise?

Thanks.

Returning valid results will cause the quota to rise. Do not reset. This is not necessary and won't change the quota. If I remember right the quota goes down by one for an invalid result and up by 2 for a valid one. It will fix itself in a couple of days if the computer is working correctly.

Many thanks for your speedy response.

Actually, it's -1 for results reported as error, or not reported by deadline.
For each "success"-result, the quota is doubled.

up to a maximum which is set by each project.

If you have a multi-cpu box, that box can get 2x (3x, 4x ...) the quota as appropriate

I think it is a neat system - it prevents a bad box from trashing a project, but applies forgiveness exponentially once the issue is sorted

The daily quota has upper limit 4 cpu's.

I agree it is a neat system but the machine will still not send results. The last result was sent 17 Dec 2005 17:57:52 UTC Over Success Done. The machine runs 24/7.

One workaround I can see is to install a new BOINC in another location, then when that has sent a few results, merge the 2 computers (which really are the same computer}, my team mate can then keep the same nickname.

Thanks for your replies.
